Captain America: Brave New World’s Adamantium Reveals Changes to Star-Lord’s Origin
Captain America 4The changes to the adamantium may have an impact on Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2Peter’s lineage is revealed when he meets his father, Ego, a living celestial being who can transform into a human, who has spent thousands of years traveling to different planets and fathering children. He is a being of limitless power, some of which is passed down to Peter, who inherits his celestial powers.
Ego may not look like his Celestial brother, but he possesses many of the same abilities as the other Celestials. If the other Celestials are made of Adamantium, it would make sense that Ego possessed the same element and transferred it to Peter. Peter did have the same powers as his father for a short period of time, which were likely amplified by the Adamantium flowing through his body. This also makes him the first Marvel Universe character to be enhanced by Adamantium, long before Wolverine joined the universe.
Why the MCU’s Adamantium Changes Make Sense for Its Overall Story (and Star-Lord’s Powers)
After seeing how various countries reacted to Vibranium, the changes to Adamantium in Marvel Comics fit with the narrative of the Marvel Universe. Black Panther: Wakanda Foreverafter Wakanda’s Vibranium was exposed to the world, many nations wanted to steal it. With the dead Celestials emerging from the Earth, it’s completely reasonable for nations to want to see what elements or resources they can harvest from it. It could also introduce Adamantium as a legitimate reason for nations to fight each other, while establishing a powerful new element for the Marvel Universe.
As for Star-Lord, it’s unclear if he still possesses adamantium. When the Guardians of the Galaxy killed Ego, Peter’s connection to his father was severed and his Celestial powers were taken away. Since he appears to be a normal human now, he may not be made of adamantium, which other Celestials possess. It will be interesting to see how he does this. Captain America: Brave New World establishes this element, and what it means for the future of the MCU.
